Does yours have the metal gears or the plastic ones? They are
interchangeable but the metal lasts longer (although it is a bit
noisier) especially if you run the dough hook a lot.

Bought my wife one and she wore it out in a year with the dough hook,
stripped the cast zink gears in the planetary section. Got a new one
since it was still under warranty (barely) and it's been fine since--
but she's gone back to kneeding by hand. Do the commercial units have
a better planetary section as well?

She must have made a lot of dough. I've only seen a couple with the
planetary stripped and those were for the same reason. The commercial
units use an all steel planetary and gears. Look at the KM25GOX
